The concept of digital twin can provide solutions for the challenges faced in Smart Manufacturing, e.g. for Predictive Maintenance (PdM) techniques. Even though predictive maintenance and digital twins expected to have a high impact on future smart manufacturing and engineering, there are still very few functioning examples of digital twins being used for predictive maintenance in actual industrial practice. It is the gap DayTiMe is about to fill, integrating findings and solutions from 14 industrial use cases and using a generic value chain model.
